To promote the Buns of Butter fitness program, Buns of Butter is performed live. Different outfits, sets, and dancers are used for each show. Before each show, dancers practice with Kristen Baumliér to learn the steps and moves of the workouts. For some shows, a special regional food is used in a routine.

Each show opens with the Buns of Butter Theme Song, with the dancers singing and "baton twirling" French breads or long beef jerky sticks. Before each routine, the dancers pull out foods from large coolers and get ready to work out. Usually 5-6 routines are performed at each show. Sometimes a volunteer from the audience performs a routine. The shows generate images of food and power, and is exercise, dance and music. A high-intensity workout using beer, butter, donuts, and pizza done live!
